Condit did nothing wrong, including the alleged sex with interns.
What Condit wants to do with his dick with a consensual partner is
his (and probably his wife's) business.  That people slammed him
and made allegations that he was involved with the death of Levy
is the only thing unfair.  Now, he's out of a job because he didn't
want to expose too much information about his and Levy's little
fling.

Traficant, from what I've read, actually did commit crimes.

Seems like Democrats are capable of distinguishing between right and
wrong, between legal and illegal.  Republicans, on the other hand,
are quick to look askance when needed and then plead, "I don't
recall."  And if pressed further, will bring down the "My country,
right or wrong" hammer.  Save me the polemics.
